Description
English: Fall Of Baghdad (Diez Albums).

Detail: a leading official's failed attempt to escape by boat from the city (center right):

"The davāt-dār (chief secretary) who commanded the Caliph’s army was encamped between Baʿqūbā and Bājisrā. Hearing that the Mongol army was approaching from the west, the davāt-dār crossed the Tigris and joined battle with the Mongols near Anbār. The Mongols retreated and, joining Baiju ’s main army, opened a canal on the river Tigris. Half of the Caliph’s army was drowned and half was defeated in the attacks that followed. The davāt-dār made an attempt to escape by boat down the Tigris. Being unsuccessful, he fled back to Baghdad." in (2011) The Mongols and the Armenians (1220-1335), Leiden ; Boston: Brill, p. 130 ISBN: 978-90-04-18635-4.
